"¢ A man guilty of playing his car stereo too loudly was ordered to sit in the woods, too "“ so he could "appreciate silence."

"¢ A man caught with a loaded gun was sent to a morgue to see dead bodies.

"¢ Teenagers who flattened tires on school buses were ordered to throw a picnic for primary school children.

"¢ A teenager was ordered to sit blindfolded outside the store from which he'd stolen pornographic videos, holding a sign that said, "See no evil."
